Résumé :

In recent years, perceptions aboutLate diagnosis the essence of autism in the clinical, researchResearch and social fields are changing. This is especially true for adults diagnosed for the first time in adulthood. In this chapter we review the reasons for the absence of a diagnosis in childhood, and what/who ultimately brings these adults to seek out a diagnosis. The chapter describes the complex nature of determining the diagnosis of autism in adults and reviews various types of comorbid mental illness. Determining a diagnosis for an adult on the spectrum should be approached not only in terms of labeling the individual but as part of a therapeutic act that enables self-understanding and how he/she functions in the world.

Résumé :

The term “emerging adulthoodEmerging adulthood”, coined by Arnett (2000, 2006), suggests that for most people in developed, post-industrial Western societies, there is a significant delay in entering adult life and binding frameworks such as marriage/couplehoodCouplehood, having children, higher education, beginning a career, joining a community, and developing a worldview. This phase is generally defined as occurring between the ages of 18 and 25 or even 35. The stage of emerging adulthoodEmerging adulthood allows young people to integrate into frameworks of adult life and to act according to relevant expectations, without the obligations involved. This chapter discusses adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the distinctive persistent and increasing difficulties they encounter during the stage of emerging adulthoodEmerging adulthood. People with ASD often lack age-appropriate encounters and experiences that provide the necessary stimulation for the stage of emerging adulthoodEmerging adulthood. The authors of this chapter established the Milestones for Life organization, which offers a transition preparation course for this population that provides them with tools for independent living in the community. The program’s guiding principle is that the processes and possibilities of the stage of emerging adulthoodEmerging adulthood constitute a springboard for subsequent independence and maturity.

Résumé :

This chapter examines the factors that bring a previously undiagnosed adult to wonder whether he might be autistic and to undergo an evaluation by a qualified diagnostician. The main tools used by professionals for an initial screening of spectrum symptoms, as well as for in-depth diagnosis, are identified according to the criteria of the American Psychiatric Diagnostic Manual (DSM-5DSM-5). Finally, the unique challengesChallenges of diagnosing autism in adulthood are presented. Adults with higher intellectual functioning often adopt effective coping strategies that make it difficult to accurately identify autism symptoms. Given the complexity of diagnosing HFA in adulthood and the lack of “sensitive” diagnostic tools, it is important for future studies to develop new tools.

Résumé :

This chapter deals with the unique characteristics of women on the High-Functioning end of the Autism Spectrum (HFA), a group that is underrepresented in the researchResearch literature. ResearchResearch findings support the hypothesis that women with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are different from men with ASD in many ways. The issue of late diagnosisLate diagnosis or misdiagnosis, camouflaging of autistic characteristics, and the risks of gender-dependent phenotypesGender-dependent phenotype of ASD, is explored through a contemporary literature review and using personal interviews conducted with a sample of adult women on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. The findings suggest the need for a focused effort to construct diagnostic tools for the identification and treatment of girls and women with ASD-HF, and to correct the long-standing discrimination in diagnosisDiscrimination-in-diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions address some relevant recommendations for the professional staff and therapists.

Résumé :

Increasing numbers of students with autism are entering institutions of higher education. These students face daunting social, emotional and communication challengesChallenges. While these institutions typically offer disability servicesDisability services, mental health counseling, career counseling, and health services to students with special needs, students with AS and HFA present unique needs that differ in many respects from the needs of students requesting accommodations for learning disabilities, especially in the area of nonacademic supports such as social and emotional supports. Many colleges are not equipped to handle these challengesChallenges and there is a poor data base of well-informed interventionsInterventions for college-going adults with autism. This chapter presents and analyzes available and emerging support systems for students with ASD. The literature cites a number of sources of support for students with ASD to help them navigate campus life. One source of support comes from families, especially parentsParents. Another involves support offered by offices for students with disabilities. Two sources of institutional support have received much attention in the recent literature: transition programs and mentoringMentoring programs. These support systems can help postsecondary students with ASD successfully pursue an academic degree in an environment that supports their social acclimatization, independence, and well-being.

Intimate relationships, and healthy sexual life that come with it, can promote the life the individual, and create a “calling-card” to enter society. Nevertheless, social standards and norms that can help the establishment of romantic and sexually characterized relationships may make them challenging for people on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The differences in ASD symptomology between males and females directs to key issues regarding sexuality among femalesFemale with ASD including: interest and attraction, behavior, and orientation, and the impacts each of these have on sexuality and sexual functioning in this population. Findings regarding greater diversity in the gender identity and greater flexibility in sexual attraction among people with ASD that is more pronounced among females than males, as well as higher vulnerability and risk of abuse, raise a concern regarding the link between sexuality and victimizationVictimization among femalesFemale with ASD.

Résumé :

GeneticGenetic family history studies suggest that a geneticGenetic liability for autism may be expressed in non-autistic relatives in a milder but qualitatively similar pattern of the traits that define autism (Piven et al., 1997). This phenomenon was later named the broader autism phenotypeBroader autism phenotype (BAP). ParentsParents who recognize autistic behaviors in themselves might perceive their child’s disability in a different way from parentsParents who became aware of ASD only through their offspring. The present pilot study examines the correlation between presence of the broader autism phenotypeBroader autism phenotype (BAP) in parentsParents of children who have been diagnosed with ASD and their feelingsFeelings towards their children. It explores the impact of this trait on the dyadic copingDyadic-coping strategies these parentsParents adopt, indicating how partners in a relationship work together to address a stressful situation, which is perceived as a dyadic rather than individual challengeChallenges. The Friburg Dyadic Coping Test, developed by Bodenmann (1995, 2005), was used to examine dyadic copingDyadic-coping strategies. This researchResearch tool relates to how the individual communicates stress to his/her partner; the individual’s assessment of how the partner responds to his/her stress; actions that an individual does when his/her partner experiences stress; how both partners deal with stress.
